Star of Bethlehem

The city of Bethlehem will soon come to life in our parking lot. Before you know it December 14 and 15 will be here and the 2024 drive-thru nativity story will be presented once again. Village people are needed to make Bethlehem the bustling city of old. Saturday and Sunday nights will be from 5:30-8:30 pm.  There will be 45 minute shifts with refreshments in between. This is a really great way for entire families to participate together. You will enjoy the food and fellowship provided for cast members and workers, and most of all the fun of being in the village and a part of this production. If you have previously participated, or are new to this event, please call or email Tim Lyons and let him know of your desire to be in the cast this year.  You may reach him by email at tlyons00@gmail.com or 336-259-6920 by phone.  Volunteer today! Be a part of this free gift to our community.
